✳︎ ✳︎ ✳︎ ✳︎ ✳︎ ✳︎ Hello There! :)
To determine whether the two expressions are equivalent, we take the second expression and distribute 2:
2(3x+1)
6x+2=2+6x
And now we know the two expressions are equivalent. If you look, you will remember the Commutative Property that states:
a+b=b+a
In this case, a=6x and b=2.
So we know that the two expressions are equivalent.
Hope this helps! :)


bearing in mind that
standard form for a linear equation means
• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions
• only the constant on the right-hand-side
• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted
• "x" must not have a negative coefficient
so, let's multiply both sides by the LCD of 7 to do away with the denominators

Answer:
D. 33.60
Step-by-step explanation:
A $40 shirt at a 20% discount would be $32. However, once a 5% tax is taken into account, the total cost would be $33.60.

The pattern having the fastest growth rate is :
Answer:
(-16)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number = x
11 less than 3 times a number: 3x -11
75 less than the product of minus 1 and the number: (-1)*x - 75 = -x -75
3x - 11 = -x -75
3x -11 +x = -75
4x - 11 = -75
4x = -75 +11
4x = -64
x = -64/4
x = -16
